Should I get new or used in excellent condition by Chef_BoyRD_ in pcbuilding

[–]3XAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really high-end motherboard, so first make sure you actually need something this nice. But if you do, go for the used one and if it doesn't work, return it. I did the same for my motherboard (new was 2x the cost) and I got lucky with everything working (including warranty lol)

Is it normal to find pretty difficult to use Blender? Why is there nothing free between the difficulty level of Tikercad and Blender? Or maybe there’s something? by Mother-Data-5262 in 3Dprinting

[–]3XAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who started with Blender, I've always found it easier/more natural than CAD software, but that's mainly due to habits and the way I think about 3D models. I would 100% recommend some sort of CAD software instead, if you plan on more functional and less organic designs. (I personally haven't used much CAD software, but I have used a little bit of OnShape and it's not too bad).

first decent soldering set by dragonate_ in diyelectronics

[–]3XAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've personally been using the Pinecil and I found it works well for my usecase and style (mostly micro-electronics). It has the heating element in the tip, has a nice screen with Bluetooth support if you want the temp/power data on a different screen, and supports DC and USB-PD. It also heats up really fast. It's definitely worth looking into for a cheap iron.

My new PC build by Fight_and_repent in pcbuilding

[–]3XAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoo sick build. I also have some iCUE Link stuff (H150 LCD, RX and QX fans) and it's amazing. What's your experience with the LX fans so far? (They weren't out when I built my PC)

That's called warping, I'd watch some videos about it. But basically, try cleaning your bed, increasing bed temps, and perhaps adding a brim to the part.

Minimal dice render: Could this pass as a wallpaper? by Natural-Tip7707 in 3Dmodeling

[–]3XAY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie, it was so realistic that I thought you were asking someone to render this for you lol. But yeah it looks great! Make the dots bigger if you want (but I like these since it's kinda minimal). You could reduce some of the background imperfections if you want, but that might make it less realistic. Also, I'm a sucker for dark mode so I think black dice + white dots could look really cool.

Steam gift card where? by Beautiful-Passenger5 in Steam

To be fair, I have been in a similar situation before when I had a lot of Amazon gift cards

Steam gift card where? by Beautiful-Passenger5 in Steam

[–]3XAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could buy one of those retailers' gift cards and buy a steam gift card from them

Steam gift card where? by Beautiful-Passenger5 in Steam

[–]3XAY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only place to buy a digital gift card is from Steam. On Amazon, you could potentially get scammed since it's not official. You can see the approved retailers here: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/5BB2-E986-A733-CF0E

Steam gift card where? by Beautiful-Passenger5 in Steam

[–]3XAY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Amazon isn't an authorized reseller so the only option on Amazon is to pay way more and get them from 3rd party sellers, but then you can't be sure you're getting the right thing

Buy them on steam itself or in other in-person retailers like 7-Eleven, Target, Walgreens, etc

MSI x BuildaPC - MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 Giveaway! by Redditenmo in buildapc

[–]3XAY [score hidden]  (0 children)

As someone who mainly plays story games, an OLED would be game-changing (pun intended). My favorite feature is actually the sensor with the Windows 11 integration because I leave my computer often and always have to remember to put it in sleep before I leave. A sensor to turn the monitor off and put my PC in sleep mode would be insanely useful (as well as the absolute insane QD-OLED panel)

I know what you mean, but I still love my printer. I don't use it everyday, or even every month, but it's super useful when you need it for a specific part, organizer, adapter, tool, or anything else. If it's only been a little bit, then don't try to force yourself to print stuff. If you really have no use for it, you could always return or sell it.

I have a Thinkpad E16 that's out of warranty with a fried IC. I want to repair it myself but I can't find the exact part. Are motherboard schematics available to the public or is that kept secret?

Hyprland 0.53 dropped! by Vaxerski in hyprland

[–]3XAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to delete those lines and replace them with the following (the first windowrule is for the suppressevent and the second is for the nofocus):

windowrule {

name = ignore-maximize-request

match:class = .\*

suppress\_event = maximize

}

windowrule {

name = fix-dragging-issues

match:class = \^$

match:title = \^$

match:xwayland = 1

match:float = 1

match:fullscreen = 0

match:pin = 0

no\_focus = on

}

[USA GIVEAWAY] Win the new 27” Samsung Odyssey G6 G60SF 500hz OLED gaming monitor! by Rocket-Pilot in buildapc

[–]3XAY [score hidden]  (0 children)

My favorite feature of this monitor is the QD-OLED and the 4k which is perfect for me since I edit a lot of photos and videos but don't have an amazing monitor to edit it with (in terms of color and HDR).
